Strange Capitular

After a request of a friend I’m writing about these strange capitulars. She is writing his thesis about Sebastião Nunes, a Brazilian Poet of the 90’s that used those capitulars on his book História do Brasil a satiric view of the Brazilian historiography. The colophon doesn’t inform nothing about the typeface and the author too.

To me, the typeface looks like a kind of clipart from an old book capitular. Take a look in the irregular contours, the oldstyle proportions and the “ancient-greek-roman” ornamentation. To me is something from XVI century.
